Trade My Soul for a Second Chance

Smoke in the bottle, dust in my veins, I been cashin’ in my heart just to ease the pain. Clock keeps tickin’, dealin’ the cards, I ain’t broke, just branded with my scars. I sold my youth for a steady hand, Traded dreams for a piece of land. Built me a fence where the wild wind blew, Now I stare at the gate like a man I outgrew. Yeah, I outgrew... Every dollar bought another chain, Every promise washed down the drain. Now I’m standin’ where I took my stand, Just a ghost with a shovel in the sand. I’d trade my soul for a second chance, One more ride, one more dance. I sold my soul in pieces, For a life that didn’t fit. Now the devil’s kindly sayin’, “Boy, you signed for it.” Had a fire once, burned hot and wild, Turned that flame to feed a child. Kept the lights on, killed the spark, Now I’m hummin’ old sins in the dark. Every win just cost a loss, Every truth came double-crossed. I ain’t beggin’ for a holy plan, Just a clean breath where it all began. I’d trade my soul for a second chance, One more road, one last dance. I sold my soul in pieces, For a life that didn’t fit. Now I’m payin’ the interest on, And I ain’t done yet. Time’s a lender, don’t you forget. He wants his cut, and he’ll take your regret. But if I could steal one sunrise back, I’d burn the contract, let it crack. I’d trade my soul for a second chance, Raise the dead, make the angels dance. I sold my soul in pieces, For a life that didn’t fit. But I still got a flame, And I’m livin’ by it. Yeah, I’m livin’ by it... Yeah, I’m livin’ by it... Dust in the bottle, smoke in my hands, Ain’t no buyin’ back your second chance. Oh no...
